What is There beyond this World?

Are you a dream? - it's just a question.
Because everything seems to be
falling to pieces in my life.
Do you hold the world in your hands?
Were you there for me in time to hear
my every call, my every fall?
I'm reaching out grasping at air.
Was it your grasp I felt?

Because I am standing on the edge now,
looking over the side of this cliff.
I spread out my arms and
I am hoping there is someone to lift -
To lift me from my pain,
To help me live my life again,
Are you there for me?

Are you for real - why would you want me?
I am ugly, nothing worthy
Of the attention you give me.
Why are you so amazing?
Everything you have told me,
is hard to believe. Why would you
come to earth and die for me?
What's this love you have shown me?

Because I am standing on the edge now,
looking over the side of this cliff.
I spread out my arms and
I am hoping there is someone to lift -
To lift me from my pain,
To help me live my life again,
Are you there for me?


Everything I could want -
All the world offers,
pulls me down, drags me out,
runs me in the ground.
I believe you are the one!
I believe you are the one!
So here I am, all of me.
I am laying down everything
And going after you -

Because I am standing on the edge now,
looking over the side of this cliff.
I spread out my arms and
I am hoping there is someone to lift -
To lift me from my pain,
To help me live my life again,
Are you there for me?
Cause here I am, all of me
I am laying down everything
and going after you!

I wrote the verses to this song a few months back, and I just wrote down the chorus and the bridge.

When I wrote the verses, I was thinking about nothing in particular - just that they sounded good. But when I really started to develop music to go with it (Yes, I have music for the verses, Danika.), I started to realize the emptiness of life without God. I started to think about people I know who have hit the bottom with nothing left and how that is the perfect place to run to God. When there is nothing left, that is the time when we give ourselves over and God can save us and work a miracle.
